Hi, those are my PR review (on coding standard)!
If I mentioned "Reference", it means it was taken from the Java coding standard from CS2103T website.

Should there be whitespace after "if"? I noticed the same issue in several other places too.

Thanks Dahfin, I will change that!

Should the name of the boolean be "isExist"? I also noticed the same issue in other boolean variables too.

Hi, should there be a package statement above this line?

so how does your package look like?

it actually depends on how the directory in your project looks like. one of my package statements is "package command"

Should the plus sign at the end of the line be placed below instead (i.e. after the break)?

Should this be declared as non-public? I also see the same issue on some other variables.

behaviour here means methods?

The code seems to be working fine and satisfies the requirements of the iP. The quality of the code in terms of readability could be improved on, and try to keep your if/else and try/catch blocks as concise as possible. Jiayou for the rest of your iP!

Maybe you can consider specifying the data type of your variables instead of just using 'var' for all of them? I'm not sure about the technical benefits of using int, boolean, String etc but it would definitely improve the readability of your code which will be helpful for your tP! Also, it seems like all of them are boolean values so you could consider naming them isCorrect, isDeleted, isInputDone etc to follow the coding standard.

Not sure if you already know but order.substring(0 , 4).equals("done") could be replaced with order.startsWith("done"), just to improve readability but you will get the same result either way.

One possible way to make the printing of the tasks out neater could be by overriding the toString method of your Task class so that you can just call System.out.println(i + 1 + ". " + orders.get(i)) instead. It is the same logic as what you are doing here, just that the checking of status and category is done inside the Task class and this will help with abstraction.

I'm not sure why you decided to make another if block to check for todo, event, and deadline since you already checked for the booleans at lines 117, 126 and 137. Would combining the bodies of the 2 if blocks of todo change the output in any way?

Does the status(0, 1) refer to whether or not the task is done? If that's the case, changing it to a boolean(eg. isDone) will be helpful in terms of readability. It might reduce confusion as your teammates will not have to guess which variable does what when they read your code for tP/ other group projects in the future.

The status of the task is always set to 0 when you initialize a new Task object, so the constructor may not have to take in a parameter for status and this.status = 0; could be used instead?

I'm sorry but I don't really understand this part. Would it be possible to combine all the try blocks together into one and have multiple catch blocks for different errors instead?

In general, the code has some further progress to make. I think you would be on the right track after trying to refactor the code as mentioned.
Potentially, you could implement an iterative approach to this. Instead of trying to solve all the problems at once, try to categorize the issues into UI related, encapsulation or abstraction issues. Try solving them one by one and it might be easier to implement in that respect since many other reviewers are also leaving their comments. Hope that helps you!

There are some recurring inconsistencies with usage of white space. It might be good to review to keep it consistent with the rest of the code base.
for example: if (exist) would better adhere to coding styles than if(exist)

Names representing methods must be verbs and written in camelCase. For example, getName(), computeTotalWidth()
So, if the intention is for you to get the value of first slash tracker, the method name could be getFirstSlashTracker instead

It seems like you are making a line break in order to follow the rule of line length not exceeding 120 and that is great!
However, line breaks should be done before an operator. One possible way could be to change this line to the following format :
System.out.println(" Yup, this is now added! " + " [E][x] "
- order.substring(5, number) + "(at: "
- order.substring(number + 3) + ")");
the operator should be a part of the new line when wrapping lines. Hope this example clarifies 👍
